FBI director: Cover up your webcam

Yeah, and don't forget to stab the ground with a knife in case it rains too, you tech illiterate faggot.

Maybe he's just an idiot. If the way elected officials interact with technology has taught me anything, it's that they don't know the first fucking thing about technology.

Does anyone unironically NOT put tape over their laptop webcam? I disable it first thing and tape over it on all laptops.

your location data is more compromising than your ugly face

I did it because I'm too lazy to cut the cord in mine.

What would that do to the rain?

Its been known for a long time that the camera and mic on a phone can be silently accessed at any time. A proof of concept was actually shown where a compromised phone was intermittently taking pictures, and those pictures could be aggregated together to form a detailed map of a building.

They aren't safe. If you can't physically disconnect them you should obscure them.

This. Your location is being recorded. Your travel speed and distance are being recorded. Your Internet traffic is being recorded. Your phone calls are being recorded. Your text messages are being recorded. You are being watched via CCTV, license plate readers, red-light cameras, body cams, and possibly even a dirigible, drone, or satellite, depending on who/where you are.

Do you really fucking think that defacing your webcam is going to stymie the surveillance state, you goddamn idiots?

What about non-state actors sillyman?

If they're not trying to oppress you, they almost certainly want money or account credentials, and peeping at you through your webcam is not how that is done. Someone trying to attack a public official would gain a lot more from a keylogger than they ever would from a webcam feed, assuming they had enough control to do either.

Used to be common sense to not reveal your name on the internet too.
